“…Despite increasing numbers of green-and eco-school initiatives, environmental knowledge types are still not sufficiently examined (e.g., [31][32][33]). The GAIA intervention provides an opportunity to analyse relationships between knowledge types (as we revealed in an earlier pilot study [13]) and how much they are influenced by a pre-and post-test design.…”

“…Roczen and colleagues [18] defined a competency model applying three pillars of EL: (i) copying skills, referring to the knowledge structure model [19], (ii) values as attitude-sets, linked to the Two Major Environmental Value model (2-MEV) scale [20] and (iii) individual behaviour covered by the General Ecological Behaviour (GEB) scale [21]. This competency model with its three pillars was pilot-tested within the GAIA context [13], by accompanying appreciation (APR) [22] to the attitude-set. The following sections give a brief outline of the instruments we used.…”

“…Altogether three psychometric constructs were assessed: (i) an individual environmental knowledge item set of 15 multiple choice question, adapted from the pilot study [13], including three different types (covariates) of system knowledge (SYS), action-related knowledge (ACT) and effectiveness knowledge (EFF) concerning the issues of "energy" (one correct answer for each multiple-choice question and five items of each knowledge type) (see Table 1), (ii) 20 items regarding 2-MEV and APR scales [56], based on a five-point Likert scale ("1 = strongly disagree", "2 = disagree", "3 = partially agree", "4 = agree", "5 = totally agree") and (iii) 21 items regarding the General Ecological Behaviour (GEB) scale containing four sub-categories:…”

Affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy consumption is a crucial goal of the Agenda 2030. To raise each citizen’s awareness for more effective energy consumptions, proper education is necessary. The classroom project GAIA (Green Awareness in Action) was designed to change energy consumption patterns to pursue green behaviour. The class-wise aim was to improve schools’ CO2-balance and to promote environmentally sustainable behaviour without impacting school life quality. Our target group were sixth graders (N = 132, M = 11.03, SD ± 0.23, 53.4% = girls) of one Greek school. To monitor the project’s effect, a pre- and post-test design was applied to measure environmental literacy regarding environmental knowledge, attitudes/values and behaviour. A regression analysis revealed that students with poor previous knowledge reached higher learning effects compared to those with good previous knowledge. Related to the environmental knowledge types, an ANCOVA analysis revealed a knowledge gain in action-related and effectiveness knowledge. The overall learning effect correlates positively with pro-environmental preference (high scores in preservation, low scores in utilisation) and negatively with weak pro-environmental preferences. Anthropocentric (utilitarian) preferences primarily focussing on nature exploitation have considerably decreased. The project illustrates how far individual behaviour can be targeted in green educational initiatives.

“…Studi ini dapat menginformasikan desain kurikulum dan praktik pembelajaran untuk secara efektif mempersiapkan guru pra-jabatan untuk mempromosikan pengembangan literasi lingkungan siswa di sekolah masa depan mereka. Literasi lingkungan mengintegrasikan variabel pengetahuan kognitif nilai lingkungan dan perilaku ekologis (Maurer, 2020). Pendidikan lingkungan sangat penting dalam pencegahan masalah lingkungan dan menciptakan lingkungan yang sehat.…”

Enviromental preservation plays an important role in the sustainability of living ecosystems. Environmental damage is caused by irresponsible human behavior so that environmental damage enters a very concerning stage. Therefore, environmental literacy needs to be developed from an early age in elementary school students as candidates for future generations who act as active agent of change. This is done with various effort through the educational process and begins with filtering information about student environmental literacy disparities, especially in Bogor City based on environmental schools and public schools. In this study using a survey method, using purposive random sampling technique. The population in this study was determined based on the category of environmental schools (SBL) and public schools (SU). Then, from the school category, respondents were selected based on the grade level. The high class level categories are grade 5 and 6, while the low class level categories are grade 3 and 4. Based on the analysis of the result of the answers to questionnaire, it was found that the environmental literacy of elementary school students in Bogor City for each school category has carried out environmental awareness activities. As for the measurement based on disposition toward the environment, the assessment of students environmental literacy was categorized as good, even among them very good for several indicators of environmental literacy.

“…The development of a market for environmentally oriented professions will increase environmental literacy among young people, as well as provide environmental management with personnel. As studies show [1], environmental literacy combines cognitive knowledge, environmental values and environmental behavior.…”

The goal of the research is to determine the importance and relevance of youth labor potential management for the environmental industry, as well as to determine the factors and risks that affect the environmental management of labor potential. To conduct the study, analytical, statistical, comparative methods, the grouping method were used, an analysis of statistical data on the number and structure of youth was carried out, as well as an analysis of current trends, factors, risks that affect the management of the labor potential of youth in the environmental industry. The main modern factors are highlighted: population aging; disproportionate distribution of the number of young people by country; the quality of youth vocational training and education; high speed of development of digital technologies in the economy. The risks posed by digital technologies are considered separately: increasing environmental risks and requirements for the level of environmental management; high speed and unpredictability of changes; inconsistent employment; platform approach; the requirement for the study of new technologies; the structure of personnel needs is changing: the level of requirements more and more does not correspond to the level of young personnel, and the rate of change in requirements is changing faster than educational programs; labor automation leads to job cuts; digital autism and decline in professional social and intellectual skills; digital addiction.
